Abstract
Zirconium germanium tetratelluride, ZrGeTe4, is isostructural with Hf0.85GeTe4 [Mar Ibers (1993). J. Am Chem. Soc.115, 3227–3238], but the Zr site in ZrGeTe4 is fully occupied and the compound is stoichiometric. ZrGeTe4 adopts a layered structural type. Each layer is composed of two unique one‐dimensional chains of face‐sharing Zr‐centered bicapped trigonal prisms and corner‐sharing Ge‐centered tetrahedra.
